hello, I use the alien's chromium and pepperflash packages and after the big upgrade of the current of 21 April, the plugin for flash has stopped working, but the same plugin continues to work on google chrome. It should be recompiled chromium?

Check if your /etc/default/chromium file is correct first.

Probably easiest to clear out that directory, removepkg Chromium and Pepperflash, and then reinstall the two in order (Chromium then Pepperflash).

good :-) by reinstalling the packages, to file /etc/default/chromium has been added
Code:
flashso="/usr/lib64/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so"

if [ -f $flashso ]
then
  flashversion=$(strings $flashso|grep "LNX "|sed -e "s/.*LNX //"|sed -e "s/,/./g")
  CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso --ppapi-flash-version=$flashversion"
fi
and now works
